This so-called "Cave" is but a joke! Definitely over-hyped as is the entirePark & Castle. Don't waste your time.
We expect to see big cave. Gutmanis cave is nice, but not big. You can read story and legend about the cave. That is nice.
.... and do tour no. 1 reccomended by the tourist information. It makes you pass by this cave and as well the devil's cliffs. Additionally you get to ride along the River and enjoy this outstanding national park.
After reading that this cave was the deepest in the Baltics & a must visit , I have to say that on arrival I was slightly disappointed with the size of it. Yes, it has a real tear jerker of a legend about the cave but in reality it's not that large . I wouldn't want to put people off visiting as the area around it is lovely but at the same time don't expect to be awestruck by it. Car Park mis opposite & costs 1 Lat .
It's the largest cave in Baltics, through it's not large in the world scale. But it has a historical background - one of the oldest tourism objects in Latvia (there are preserved engraved names and coats of arms from 19th century and older) and one of the most tragic love stories (a legend). Although it's not a huge place, it's worth to visit!
We stopped at Sigulda for one night on our trip from Lithuania to Estonia. We didn't expect much, especially after a disappointing ride on the cable car. To our surprise environment around the cave was very pleasant. The water stream washing away the sandstone, names of lovers carved into the sandstone, abandoned stone trail - all make up for a quite unique and delightful experience, especially if you like hiking.
Nice little stop off point if you're cycling round, otherwise not an awful lot to see here, plenty to read about though.
It was significant monument . There was inside flowing mountain little river, here you can put your feet and refresh during hot summer day.
First thing I would suggest management to correct text in English.for example ill give you word "bagging" which actually should be "begging" from woed "beg".there are few other mistakes and it's confusing for english readers.otherwise nice spot to stop and visit while in sigulda and/or turaida
I had a driver who drove almost all the way up to this cave. He told me a folk tale about 2 lovers as we stood at the "cave" entrance. I really couldn't understand the type to this attraction and would not go out of my way for it. Maybe it makes a nice hike but that is not what I did.
